Alabaster man charged with sexual abuse of 2 children at wife's in-home daycare

ALABASTER,
Alabama - A 57-year-old Alabaster man arrested this week faces two charges of
sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old, according to a news release
from the Alabaster Police Department.

Eligio
Rios-Martinez lives in the 1600 block of Kent Dairy Road, where his wife runs
an in-home daycare.

After two
children who attend the daycare told their mother that Rios-Martinez molested
them, the woman reported the allegations to Alabaster police.

Rios-Martinez
is being held in the Shelby County Jail on $400,000 bond.

"We are working
closely with the Alabama Department of Human Resources to make sure there are
no other victims," Alabaster police Chief Curtis Rigney said.

Anyone who
believes their child might have had contact with Rios-Martinez can call the
department at (205)663-7401.
